1 Horsington House is a duplex apartment comprising the principal ground and first floor rooms of an imposing Grade II listed country house set in rolling countryside with fine views over Blackmore Vale. Dating from the early 19th century, the house was converted into four apartments twenty years ago to ensure an optimum degree of privacy. Included in the sale is the freehold of the house itself, about 5 acres of gardens and grounds, garaging, a tennis court, an orchard and a stunning walled garden with summer room and machinery stores. The apartment is approached off a communal entrance hall and has three reception rooms on the ground floor including a sitting room with a double height domed plasterwork ceiling. All the reception rooms have French doors, flooding them with light and offering views over the garden and grounds. It also has a good sized kitchen/breakfast room and a cloakroom. On the first floor there is a principal bedroom with ensuite marble bathroom and dressing room and three further bedrooms (two ensuite), one of which is currently used as a study/home office. The entire property was upgraded seven years ago with new plumbing, electrics and new bathrooms and kitchen. It is approached down a long, tree-lined private drive which terminates in a parking area and courtyard garden. The grounds extend to 5 acres around three sides of the property and provide a private, peaceful setting with lovely views over Blackmore Vale and feature flower borders, hedging, woodland, a small orchard and a beautiful 1 acre walled garden.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
